November 9, 2024 marks the 10th Anniversary of the Emmett Rotary fundraiser to help with the eradication of polio in the world. We are “this close” but we won’t get there unless we continue the fight!
Our annual Pins & Putts (added in 2023) will take place at Westies Garden Lanes, 5504 Alworth St, Boise Idaho (beside the Fairgrounds).
This is the 2nd year Emmett Rotary has partnered with the Eagle Garden City Rotary for this fun event. Both clubs are working on getting bowlers ($30 per person); lane sponsors ($50) and putters ($10 per person). While we have “putters” for that fun portion, we encourage you to make your own! We won’t be using any “standard” putters. Silent Auction items are also welcome! Westies provides bowling shoes at no cost to individuals! They also have a great cafeteria (sorry, that’s on your own!).
There are only two countries in the world where polio exists — Afghanistan and Pakistan. We will continue the fight with our Rotary partners, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation which gives two dollars for every one dollar we raise.
World Polio Day is October 24. All funds raised will go to eradicate this terrible disease in our world. No child should have to suffer from polio and we can help make that happen!
Contact John Buck (208-369-1785) or Kathy (klrainbow49@gmail. com) if you would like to participate, sponsor or donate items for the Silent Auction. Registrations are due by November 2. Come, join the fun and DO GOOD FOR THE WORLD!
